During the second dungeon training session, Li encountered the Remnant of the Founding King.

The trigger might have been the Saint's greed.

However, if Li had not been there at that moment, the hidden passage would never have activated.

In that sense, Li ended up drawing the winning ticket.

But because of that, Li became extremely tired.

While eating, Li only gave her mother a brief overview.

Everything else was tossed to her father to explain.

Recently, Li had completely lost any resistance to tossing things to others.

* * *

It was the following morning.

From early in the morning, Li was enjoying the open-air bath.

Wearing a yukata, Li sank into the hot water.

Leaning back against the edge of the bath, Li stretched her legs out.

"Ahhh..."

It was almost like the feast after a one-night-only carnival.

The kind of voice that only came out because nobody else was around.

It was very much like something an old man would do, though from the perspective of the person inside it was perfectly normal.

However, it was not something a beautiful girl with slightly bluish silver hair and aqua-blue eyes should be doing.

But there really was nobody there.

Even though Li knew it was bad manners, the towel was dipped into the water.

After wringing it tightly, Li placed it over her eyes.

The gentle warmth of the towel slowly seeped into the area around her eyes.

And then once again.

"Ahhhhhh..."

Another voice slipped out.

Li had completely let her guard down.

At that moment, a soft "hehe" of laughter could be heard.

"Li-chan, you must have been really tired."

It was Li's mother.

"M-Mother! Why are you here!"

Li hurriedly panicked.

"I heard Li-chan was in the bath early this morning."

After pouring water over herself first, Li's mother settled down beside Li.

"Ahhhhhh. Taking a bath this early in the morning really is nice!"

She was thirty-eight this year.

Yet she was a bewitching beauty who could easily pass for someone still in her twenties.

As Li's mother, her appearance was extremely beautiful.

There was no sign of decline in her firm skin or the curves of her body.

To begin with, people with abundant mana age slowly.

It was common knowledge in this world.

Even so, she did not look like someone approaching forty.

"It really does make your voice come out naturally."

Saying that, Li's mother chuckled again.

Seeing her like that, Li also completely relaxed.

Trying to stay tense suddenly felt ridiculous.

Parent and child sat side by side soaking in the open-air bath.

There was no need for extra words.

A calm and peaceful time simply passed by.

For the first time in a while, Li spent time spacing out without thinking about anything.

It was precisely during moments like this that strange ideas tended to appear.

Suddenly, Li recalled something the male instructor had said.

"From next time onward you will not participate in the dungeon training."

That was what he had said.

Certainly, perhaps because of the title 'Child Beloved by the Goddess', Li had extremely strong luck when it came to these things.

The first time, an Unexplored Area had been discovered.

The second time, the Founding King's hidden passage had been discovered.

They say things that happen twice will happen three times.

So what would appear during the third training session?

Even Li could not predict it.

However, there was a feeling that something troublesome might happen again.

Even so, Li had a longing for dungeons.

They say the third time is the charm.

The previous two times had not matched Li's expectations.

But the third time, surely next time it would.

Li simply wanted to enjoy conquering a dungeon.

That was all.

However, it was also true that the beginner-level dungeon near the Royal Capital was not enjoyable.

The monsters that appeared were weak and there were almost no traps.

That was why Li hesitated when the headmaster invited her to an advanced-level dungeon.

Maybe dungeon conquest could actually be fun there.

But even so, Li thought that going into a dungeon with the headmaster would be a bit awkward.

In the end, it was not about where you went but who you went with.

Li wanted to enjoy it with everyone from Rosenkreuz of the Rose Maiden Cross.

However, the members of Rosenkreuz of the Rose Maiden Cross did not yet have enough ability.

So what should be done?

Li suddenly had an idea.

"We should raise the level of Rosenkreuz of the Rose Maiden Cross."

To the point where even an advanced-level dungeon could be conquered.

If everyone became stronger together, that would solve everything.
